Build-A-Bear reviews

The cons of any retail job. Terrible hours, work weekends and holidays, higher ups breathing down your neck about hours, etc. Making numbers and focusing on metrics is huge a BBW. I understand it is a business, but don't say your focused on the customer and then push so freaken much to sell so much crap. Everything is super corny. They embed the word "bear" into everything, which is both annoying and stupid. Ex. instead of territory, it's "bearitory."

The quality of the product has declined, most of the benefits have been changed or are gone, the raises are very little if you even get one, the part time workers get very few hours so that creates a bigger turn-over rate, the amount of hours you are given to run the store is not enough on many days.
